How do I delete my account?

Open the Profile tab, scroll to the bottom, and tap Delete account. This is permanent — it removes your profile and your follow relationships, and unlinks any catches you logged from your account. Catches you'd already shared publicly stay on the map as anonymous data; they just stop counting as yours.

Why does BiteMap need my location?

To center the map on where you are and to tag catches with where they happened — that's what makes the heat map work. You can deny location access and still use the app; the map just falls back to a sample area instead of centering on you. Full detail is in the privacy policy.

What do the different map pin colors mean?

How do I keep a catch private?

When logging a catch, the Share to heat map toggle controls this. Off keeps it visible only to you in your own Journal; on shares it to the public map for everyone. You can also adjust the pin location before saving — drag it if you're logging a catch after the fact, like once you're back home.

Something's wrong — a bug, or bad data on the map

Email us at the address above with what happened and, if you can, what device and iOS version you're on. Screenshots help a lot.

Do I have to pay to use BiteMap?

No. Your account, catch logging, journal, the full species ID guide, and following friends are free — not a trial. There's no paywall and no ads at this stage.
